6.1 Introduction to Bridge.6.1 Introduction to Bridge. Bridge circuits are the instruments for making
comparison measurements, are widely used to measure resistance, inductance, capacitance and impedance.
Bridge circuits operate on a null-indication principle, the indication is independent of the calibration of the indicating device or any characteristics of it. It is very accurate.

The Wheatstone bridge consists of two parallel resistance branches with each branch containing two series resistor elements, Figure 6.1.
A DC voltage source is connected across the resistance network to provide a source of current through the resistance network.
A nul detector is the galvanometer which is connected between the parallel branches to detect the balance condition.
The Wheatstone bridge is an accurate and reliable instrument and heavily used in the industries.

Operation:Operation: We want to know the value of R4, vary one of the
remaining resistor until the current through the null detector decreases to zero.
The bridge is in balance condition, the voltage across resistor R3 is equal to the voltage drop across R4,(R3 = R4).

At balance the voltage drop at R1 and R2 must be equal to.
No current go through the galvanometer G, the bridge is in balance so,
This equation, R1R4 = R2R3 , states the condition for a balance Wheatstone bridge and can be used to compute thevalue of unknown resistor.

When the bridge is in unbalance condition, current flows through the galvanometer causing a deflection of its pointer.
The amount of deflection is a function of the sensitivity of the galvanometer.
Sensitivity is the deflection per unit current. The more sensitive the galvanometer will deflect
more with the same amount of current.

The Kelvin Bridge is the modified version of the Wheatstone Bridge.
The modification is done to eliminate the effect of contact and lead resistance when measuring unknown low resistance.
By using Kelvin bridge, resistor within the range of 1 Ω to approximately 1uΩ can be measured with high degree of accuracy.
Figure 6.8 is the basic Kelvin bridge. The resistor Ric represent the lead and contact resistance present in the Wheatstone bridge.
